"Go Ahead Fearlessly" - Liu Yuning

♫ Grudges and karma, right and wrong ♫

♫ The past hides blood and tears ♫

♫ It is hard to catch up after years of separation ♫

♫ The truth cannot be fully revealed ♫

♫ Fate is full of twists and turns ♫

♫ Life and death, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand ♫

♫ Obsession is hard to get rid of, keeping the truth
and getting rid of the lies, let the wind blow ♫

♫ Tossed about by the wind and rain, I will never regret it,
I will accompany you for my whole life ♫

♫ At least you share my joy and sorrow ♫

♫ Unravelling fate, fearlessly, a dream returns ♫

♫ The mountains and rivers are bright and beautiful,
holding hands, together we return ♫

♫ In this life, my heart returns untainted of dust and ash ♫

[Melody of Golden Age]

[Episode 14]

Great Chief.

What brings you here?

There are too many lanterns here and too bright.

Over here, put it here.

The Great Chief's residence is always like this?

The Shen Mansion is much brighter than this.

Great Chief, come on.

Young Master Han, on such a night with a full moon,

do you also think of your own family like I do?

I… lost my parents at a young age.

I have had no family for a long time.

Once I marry Caiwei, the Yan family will be my family.

Right.

Your parents have gone, what about your siblings?

Marriage is a significant matter. Out of courtesy, you must inform them. Right?

Before getting married, the two families should meet.

- Right.
- No need.

I left home to study at a young age, and I've long lost contact with my relatives.

As long as Caiwei and I truly love each other, that's enough.

I don't care about those tedious formalities.

Really? Why do I think that these tedious formalities are necessary?

Even if you two truly love each other,

you would also hope to get recognition and blessings from your friends and family.

Moreover, the more important thing is...

you'll get to know both family backgrounds from this meeting,

so as not to be deceived.

Right.

When I married you, we didn't have these formalities.

Young Master Han truly loves Third Sister. That's what matters.

It's getting late, and a bit chilly.

Well, let's head back to rest.

Yes, let's go.

Right.

Great Chief, we will head back to rest now. Let's go.

Young Master Han.

If you really love her so much,

then try to be sincere and face the challenge together.

Young Master Han, let's go.

What do you want to do? You insist on having a meal here and scare everyone away.

I don't want to tell you.

I shouldn't be the one to tell you.

You're mystifying things!

It's getting late. Let's go back.

It's too late to go back.

- Then…
- Great Chief.

Great Chief, Master has already prepared a bedroom for you two.

Since Father has already prepared a bedroom for me, then I won't go back.

Husband, you can just go.

What are you doing?

What? He said the bedroom is for the two of us.

If you stay, then how are you going to explain this tomorrow?

If you're not leaving, at least put me down first.

It's not nice to be seen.

So what? I just want others to see how close we are.

So you'll be spared from explaining.

Wait!

Go back to rest!

All right.

Now drop the play. It's time to sleep.

Yan Mansion is not like Shen Mansion.

Tonight, you'll just make do there.

I am someone with injuries. Making me sleep on a bamboo chair...

is inappropriate.

Who told you to…

You look even healthier than me.

Forget it. You can have the bed.

If you want to stay, there's still half a spot inside. You can sleep on the inside.

If you don't want to,

you can go outside and spend the whole night with the stars.

Today, let's make do.

But we have to follow the rules. No one is supposed to cross this blanket.

I can't sleep.

I might as well go outside and spend the night with the stars.

Why are you here?

I've given you the room.

The candles in the room have gone out.

It's too dark in the room for me to sleep.

Get someone to light the candles.

Shen Du, you just have to bother others in the middle of the night, don't you?

You weren't asleep when the candles were lit.

You're tossing and turning, keeping me from sleeping.

Because the candles weren't bright enough when they were lit,

it's still a bit dim.

You're a really weird guy.

My father even lit a few more candles. And you still complain about the darkness.

You're sleeping, not reading or writing. Why do you need it to be as bright as day?

Are you blind or something?

Now I understand why Shen Du is called White Ghost.

Just look at these.

In broad daylight, it's like a memorial hall.

When evening comes, it is still as brightly lit as day.

Who beats someone up with a lantern in hand?

I can't do it without a lantern.

Does he...

have night blindness?

Tonight is truly rare.

The seven stars of the Azure Dragon in the east,

and the seven stars of the Vermilion Bird in the south.

All of them are visible.

Look over there.

Those four stars over there are connected, do they look like the four corners of a square?

Those four stars over there are the Di (Earth) and Tu (Mole) stars.

And below them are four more, which are the Jiao (Horn) and Mu (Wood) stars.

Indeed, he cannot see.

There are no stars over there at all.

You know so many names of the stars.

You are really impressive.

Well, those over there. What's the name of those stars over there that look like a rabbit?

Those are the Biyue (Black Moon) and Wu (Crow) stars.

What about this one over here? I think this one looks like a glutinous rice cake.

And those in the south. Those in the south look like a cherry.

It is called the Jing (Well) and Mu (Wood) stars.

It doesn't sound good. Change the name.

I think… it should be called...

Cherry Biluo Star.

The one next to it is Glutinous Rice Cake Star.

It doesn't sound good.

Such strange names.

And they are all pastries.

You wouldn't understand this, but it's better to name them after food.

When I was little, I had a poor appetite.

So, my mother would name the stars in the sky all after pastries.

She even tricked me by saying that whichever star was shining, then I had to eat more of that kind of pastry.

Otherwise, that star would never shine again.

Today, you must eat more glutinous rice cakes.

Because today, the star that looks like a glutinous rice cake is shining.

My mother said, if not, then...

the star that looks like a glutinous rice cake will go out.

Eat up.

♫ Heart burned, a withered body, a lifetime of solitude ♫

♫ Heart burned, a withered body, a lifetime of solitude ♫

♫ Passion burned, where it scattered, where it mottled ♫

♫ Passion burned, where it scattered, where it mottled ♫

♫ Drifting in the mist, amidst the vast misty waves, groping in the dark ♫

♫ Drifting in the mist, amidst the vast misty waves, groping in the dark ♫

♫ You passing by, igniting fireworks ♫

W-What are you doing?

Could it be...

you?

♫ Love is complicated, it hurts you and burns me ♫

♫ Flowers bloom and fall along the way, heavy rain pours ♫

♫ The lights will intersect ♫

♫ You are my whereabouts ♫

♫ Who can save me from loneliness and confusion? ♫

♫ Understand my vulnerability, no words are needed ♫

♫ Who can save me from my confusion and persistence? ♫

♫ Sheltering my loneliness, never allowing me to surrender ♫

♫ I can't escape the shackles of our destiny ♫

♫ Embracing the gentleness you've given ♫

♫ Help me to see myself clearly, who I am ♫

♫ Who can help me distinguish right from wrong? ♫

♫ Through the sea of people, just hold me tight ♫

♫ Soothe my sense of loss, never to escape ♫

♫ Impurities of the past have settled, we've met several times ♫

♫ Who can break free from fate? ♫

♫ Crossing rivers and plunging into fire for you ♫

Great Chief.

- What's the matter?
- Early this morning, Young Master Han went to find Master, saying to announce something.

He asked me to invite you and Madam.

Okay.

We're on our way.

- Great Chief.
- Don't bother.

Great Chief, you are here.

Thank you for giving me the chance to confess.

Young Master Han, what exactly do you want to say?

Caiwei.

I lied to you.

My parents still have a son alive.

He is the Grand Empress Dowager's favored official,

Zhang Baohuan, the Minister of Rites.

Minister Zhang?

But I don't understand.

Since you are Minister Zhang's brother,

why didn't he use his connections to protect you

from persecution by the Princess of Valor?

Younger Brother…

In fact, the Princess of Valor knew about my relationship with Zhang Baohuan.

With the intention of competing with the Grand Empress Dowager,

she sought to make me her paramour.

I rejected her many times,

but still found it hard to escape.

Though we are born of the same mother,

he does not deserve to be my elder brother...

because he failed to protect our sister.

Sister?

The owner of Jinxiu Workshop back then

was your sister, Zhang Baoying?

Caiwei, I'm sorry.

I lied to you.

When the incident at Jinxiu Workshop occurred,

the Zhang family was executed to the last.

Yet Zhang Baohuan used his connections to save me.

I can't figure out

why he couldn't save our sister if he could save me.

I hate that he didn't protect our sister,

and hate myself for being incompetent.

Since then, I made up my mind...

to have nothing to do with the Zhang family anymore.

My mother's surname is Han, so I took her surname

and renamed myself Han Shiyuan.

Maybe he had a compelling reason too.

You should know how difficult life he is living by the side of the Grand Empress Dowager.

Being a companion to the ruler is like being with a tiger.

I think you should understand it.

You'd never seen how bloody that scene was.

How can you truly empathize with me?

[Zhang Baoying]
Don't be afraid.

I will never forget that day.

If you were me,

you wouldn't be able to say such words.

You are wrong.

They died uncleared of a false charge,

so you should try your best to seek justice for them,

instead of lying to yourself...

and distancing yourself from them.

What a twisted fate!

What a twisted fate!

Young Master Han.

Allow me to think more about the marriage between you and my daughter.

I hope you will understand.

The Yan Mansion is not strong,

it truly cannot withstand any more turmoil.

Today, I tell you the truth,

I'm well aware of the consequences.

I did not sleep all night.

I realized I couldn't lie to Caiwei...

and marry her.

Staying here these days...

has bothered you a lot.

I'll...

take my leave.

Young Master Han.

Caiwei! Caiwei!

Young Master Han is indeed Minister Zhang's family.

The Jinxiu Workshop case involves the royal past and the close servant of the Grand Empress Dowager.

Connections are extensive. Be very cautious!

Understood, I will be careful.

Actually, there is one more thing.

Back then, in the detention center, there was a little girl who often came to see me at midnight.

She brought me food and news from the outside.

But after a certain day, she was never seen again.

I thought I'd never see her again.

But yesterday,

I seemed to have found her.

Or perhaps, someone just like her.

Many years ago, you asked me to check the detention center's entry and exit records

specifically to find her. Right?

But in the records, there was no entry of a little girl.

So I couldn't help but wonder whether she was real

or merely a figure in my dreams.

If she did come and go at night, then she might not be recorded.

That detention center was also where I was confined in my youth.

Thinking back now, I still often have nightmares.

She dared to go into the detention center at night to care for you.

She must be a kind-hearted woman.

If fate brings you together again, make sure to tell her this and treat her well.

If fate indeed brings us together again, there's no need to tell her this.

As I am now the well-known ruthless official in Great Cang,

being so ruthless and with a vicious dog that bites people.

I'm too ashamed to face my childhood playmate again.

A vicious dog that bites people?

You're talking about that time at Ming Hall?

If you hadn't let out that vicious dog to screen criminals,

I'm afraid that everyone below would have perished under arrows.

Madam Xu, you have been living in the palace, yet know everything. Even the affairs outside the palace.

Don't flatter me so. Everyone in Xiang'an City knows this.

This became another tally under your reputation as White Ghost.

Shen Du,

bearing such a notorious name, do you think it is worth it?

Yan Xing! You overstepped your authority again!

And yet you still deny it?

This is the encrypted file sent by the Imperial Guards, designated for you to read only.

Originally, cases from the Imperial Guards were to be assigned to you.

However, by law, they must be archived first and then assigned from the top down.

There's no reason to go over me and straight into your hands.

Regarding this matter, you must… remind the Imperial Guards.

All right, Director Wu. I will tell them all the files and evidence that are sent over

must be reviewed and assigned by you.

That's more like it.

What is this? Is this a code using landmarks?

Jushengnu Stars?

[Glutinous Rice Cake Star]

Glutinous Rice Cake Star.

Cherry…

This must be the work of my husband, who has recently taken an interest in astronomy.

While observing, he has drawn maps of the stars

and presented them to the Ministry of Justice for use in our investigations.

Nonsense.

Are these things of any use to us? Any at all?

This is the Ministry of Justice, not the Astronomical Bureau.

Nonsense. Do they think that we are idle?

Without eating pastries, you can still retain a sky full of stars.

He has remembered all the positions and names I spouted last night.

Shen Du, I will find a way to cure your night blindness.

[Seaweed]

One can see things during the day.

When dusk falls, one can't see anything.

It is called Night Blindness.

Suggest nourishing the liver and replenishing blood.

Did Madam ask to prepare offal to make three meals a day for Master?

Are you cooking?

You look like you're doing witchcraft to me.

What are you all gathered around here for?

Dismissed, everyone. Don't you have things to do?

Pipewort Flower.

Go and get busy.

All right.

Hurry. Come with me.

Faeces Vespertilionis.

My Lord.

This is what Madam cooked for you, sheep liver soup.

Great Chief, Madam said tha at noon you have to have this

steamed Pipewort Flower, Faeces Vespertilionis, and chicken liver.

Again?

Again and again?

I'm not eating.

I know why you keep the lanterns lit at night.

If you wish to see the starry sky,

you must eat all three meals a day.

If you do not, read the second note.

If you don't want the entire Xiang'an City to know your secret,

then receive proper nourishment and treatment from me.

What did you just say this thing is called?

Steamed Pipewort Flower, Faeces Vespertilionum,

and chicken liver.

I know what Pipewort Flower is.

But what is the Faeces Vespertilionum?

Great Chief, are you sure you want me to tell you?

What exactly is it?

Bat droppings.

Sixth...

Miss…

Yan!

Great Chief, let's not eat it then.

You go to the Ministry of Justice

and bring her here.

[Chief's Office]

Madam, be careful!

Great Chief was in a bad mood after eating the chicken liver.

I'm going to watch the training.

What are you looking at?

And you?

Sixth Miss Yan, if you want to kill your husband, just stab me with a sword.

Why beat around the bush?

Making these nauseating soups.

Shen Du, you misjudged my good intentions!

This is a recipe I found in medical books.

It's written that those with night blindness should take

substances that nourish the liver and the eyes.

Such as animal offal, and…

It's not just animal offal, but also animal droppings.

What animal droppings?

Are you talking about...

Faeces Vespertilionum?

That steamed Pipewort Flower, Faeces Vespertilionum, and chicken liver...

is...

recorded in the Treatise on the Origins of Various Diseases.

Faeces Vespertilionum is one of the most important medicinal ingredients.

Butler Shen bought it after going through all the city's drugstores.

And I steamed it all night.

My good intentions are taken for donkey's liver and lungs.
(You mistake my good intentions for something worthless.)

Don't ever mention the word "liver" again!

Good medicine is often bitter to the taste.

Venting like this doesn't make any sense.

I…

If you have nothing important to say, I'll go back to my department.

Chen Shoujie has been recuperating at the medical hall these past few days,

sometimes lucid, sometimes dull.

I have already brought him to the Imperial Guards.

If you want to question him, come with me.

Master Chen, can you tell me what exactly happened?

Why are there Jinxiu Workshop's works in your house?

She's my concubine.

Previously at Jinxiu Workshop, she also worked as an embroideress

and even had apprentices.

Her craftsmanship was truly exquisite.

When Jinxiu Workshop got involved in a case, she just happened to be out.

Afterward, the imperial court searched for the remaining party,

and she was hiding everywhere

and met me.

I appreciated her merits, so I took her in as a concubine.

She made these embroidery works

in her leisure time.

Fire!

Fire!

I don't think we can get any clue from him.

So, Madam Chen was once an embroideress at the Jinxiu Workshop.

So, the murderer wanted to eliminate all those

related to the Jinxiu Workshop case?

If that's the case, does it mean that

the Jinxiu Workshop case has a big secret?

A secret that the murderer would kill people to keep it quiet.

But right now it's all speculation. We have no evidence.

Indeed. Further investigation is required.

And it should be a targeted investigation.

I have decided to write an application today

and submit it to the Ministry of Justice tomorrow,

to apply for a combined investigation of the Chen Huo'e case and the Jinxiu Workshop case.

I'm afraid it will be difficult.

These two cases involve too many people.

None of them want the old cases to be brought up again,

so they will do everything they can to obstruct the investigation.

But if we don't try, we'll never know the results.

What's going on?

The people from the Princess of Valor's mansion are making things difficult for Han Shiyuan

and blocking our way.

Young Master Han, Princess of Valor invites you to come.

Wait. Don't act rashly.

Jing Lin, go and find Zhang Baohuan.

Yes!
